4:02 am
funltivefun fugitive asylum. the two countries who offered to take him in aren't worried about consequences, even as the white house demands his surrenr. he wait at the airport in russia. we are joined now from moscow. what do we know about the two offers so far? >> good morning, guys this could be a new break in the whole snowden saga. holed up in the transit area of moscow's airport for 14 days, two weeks now. normally you can only spend 24 hours in that place. two countries in play, venezuela and anythinicaragua. venezuela's president, nicolas maduro feels that edward snowden is a great personality and needs to be given refuge in the country of bolivar and chavez.
4:03 am
one thing where it seems venezuelans have made a decision. on the other hahn, nicaragua is willing to take him in if everything surrounding that is okay. certainly seems to have to be some sort of legal process beforehand to see if nicaragua will do that. venezuela seems his best bet at this point in time. from being on the ground here, the russians at this point in time are pretty keen to have him out of their country. the head of russia's parliament tweeted earlier today, saying he's thrilled about the new development with venezuela. saying snowden cannot stay at that airport forever, pam. >> a followup here. no one has seen this man. how is he going to get wherever he is held up at the airport onto the plane. we saw the trouble of bolivia had trying to get back to his country with so many countries closing air space? >> reporter: yeah, victor.
4:04 am
that certainly will be the big question. first of all, the big question, is he even in that transit lounge or is he somewhere else? literally, no one has seen him in the past two weeks. we have crews on the ground that looked through every inch of that transit lounge. at this point, no one has seen him there. the big question, how on earth is he going to get on a plane without anyone seeing him and travel there? no direct flights to venezuela or nicaragua from russia. he would probably have to travel through cuba and the difficulties that evo morales when several european countries said we won't let your plane go through our air space because we think had you snowden on board. the big hope venezuela has, they hope the russians will make something happen. >> still a mystery and russia wants nothing more than to get rid of snowden at this point.
4:05 am
venezuela, nicaragua, harsh critics, no surprise here. more fears this morning as we go to egypt now, more fears of violence exploding in cairo and other parts of the country. >> running battles in the street killed at least more than 30 people, 1,000 others are injured. >> reza, a violent night, violent few days. is it quieter today? >> reporter: it's quiet, but the day is young and many supporters of morsi are still angry. still out in areas where they protested yesterday. not in big numbers right now. more plan to be back later today to follow up on demonstrations that turned violent and deadly. >> you mentioned we could see more protests today. violence seen as backlash after morsi removed from pow every last week? >> no question about it, many

daddy lators say we followeded the the democrat uk process and feel betrayed. this president was freely, fairly, elected, now outsted because of the armed forces, an uprising, they will stay out until he is back. they believe he is the legitimate president. >> when we say pro-morsi and anti-morsi protesters. are they in support of policies or do they believe that they are a coup and the anti-morsi forces should have waited for the upcoming election. >> reporter: this is a fight for egypt's identity. ever since the 2011 election, have you political factions fighting for pow every. you have liberals, moderates, who love their bikinis and beers
4:07 am
and dance clubs on the weekend. and you have the conservatives who live by the strict principles of islam. and all of the fashions want to set the future path for egypt. islam uks took over. moderates and liberals didn't like it. they launched a campaign to push him out. they were successful. now islamists upset and the conflict goes on and on and on. >> a live look at morsi protests. is there concern that what happened here is going to set a president for the future. that no matter who is elected in the democratic process, once again, we'll see these types of protests, they won't like who is elected, depending on what side are you on. >> that's one of the concerns, for decades, the islamists were oppressed, side louned, and jail. many became radicalized.
4:08 am
as for the revolution, many followed the temp carat uk process. their president got fairly elected they say. but now they say they are stifled again. there is fear that they will go back underground and use a strategy that's the possibility path to radicalization. >> thank you so much. >> stay safe, reja. amid the unraes, hosni mubarak back in court. is he charged of ordering the death of protesters in the arab spring that forced him from pow every. he was found guilty and sentenceded to life last year before being granted a new trial. the fbi has broken up a black mail attempt against paula deen. this man is behind the attempt. 62-year-old thomas bicoulis this is a mugshot from a different

the trial of george zimmerman in recess for the weekend. prosecution rested yesterday after nine days, 38 witnesses, 200 exhibits admitted to evidence. >> the mothers of both trayvon mart sxin george zimmerman took the stand. let's bring in jean casarez. both mothers said it was my son you hear screaming for help. is there one mother who helped the case more? >> you know, it's amazing they both testified on the same day as the mothers, right? here is the thing, what allowed this to happen was the judge, in a ruling, said there could be lay testimony, and the senior audio engineer from the fbi said those familiar with the voice are the best ones to testify. if they heard the voice screaming or something if that
4:11 am
capacity, it will give the credibility. neither mother testified that she heard her son in the past, screaming, yelling, probably thousand an incident, before trayvon die, but there wasn't. it was the emotional aspect to it. i know my child better than anyone else. knowith their voice. in the end, probably going to be the witnesses, the scream itself and what george zimmer man said himself. >> do you think the prosecution proved its case against george zimmerman. >> here is the interesting thing. a medical examiner, critically important witness. he made a big point for the prosecution. that is the trajectory of the shot. he testified, dr. bao, that the shot was straight on, into the
4:12 am
heart of trayvon martin. and so i think the prosecution will argue if there is a struggle going on and head being into the concrete and george zimmerman imminently believes he is going to do, how could he do the straight, perfect shot. and dr. bao, every other sentence was i don't remember anything about the autopsy. i don't remember anything about is that pinnacle moment, the re- cause of death. what is the cause of death? well, gunshot wound to the chets. i didn't hear that pinnacle moment, and manner of death, homicide? what you're left with, i don't remember anything about the autopsy. >> also muddy as it went on hour after hour with the notes and the jury in and the jury out. we'll continue to have this conversation. jean casarez, thank you. >> thanks. new lead in a 6-year-old

4:36 am
>> and we are downed by tonya miller and another guest. danny, let's start with you. who seems more credible, if there is a way to measure that. who will the jury believe? >> well, it's har to say. jurors look for credibility and relatability. they will be aware these are both mothers with a vested interest with the voice on that tape being each of their individual sons, developed by mark o'mara in cross-examination which i thought was a very difficult path for him to take. but he did very well with it. developed what is the truth that for each of these mothers, they need for that voice to be their son and they vested their interest in that and have basis in they knee it to about this case. >> do you think one mother gave
4:37 am
an advantage to one side or the other? >> it's hard to say. at the end of the day on this issue, with most issues in criminal trials and in this case in particular, it will be a question of common sense. the jury will bring that common sense with them into the deliberation room, and the question is going to be, why does the guy with the loaded gun need anymore help than that? i also think there's going to be an issue with when the gun goes off, the screams go silent. two sort of objective common sense issues the jury will be able to consider and help them decide this issue. >> so much anticipates of sybrina getting on the stand. she was el fwaegantlegant, clea direct. i didn't see all of the emotion
4:38 am
is that because she was overprepared? i'll defer to you. did they do too much or uright? >> no. i i don't think they did too much. obviously, she is preparing for some time, but he's worked hand in hand with the prosecutors, and fwon over that with the testimony. she expects questions, because they have done plenty of mock testimonies with this witness, just as they do with most of their important witnesses, so i think that a lot of the emotion because of that. a lot of the emotion dissipated, however, still as a mother, testifying about her dead son, and i think the jury, who is mostly mothers, got that point. >> tonya, watched the trial every day, analysis every day. what really stayed with me at the end of every day was that there were so many witnesses who gave the defense a little nugget
4:39 am
and helped out mark o'mara and done west. does the state have enough? have they done the job to say this man should be convicted of second degree murder? >> i think they have. cases like this where you don't necessarily have that independent witness who can tell you what happened, you don't have the videotape, don't have that smoking gun, come down to how well the state can argue their case in closing arguments. pull the small details together. hone in on inconsistencies that exist in george zimmerman's statement. the implausibility he has in his statements and some of the lies. if they can do that in an effective way, i certainly think there is enough there for them to convict george zimmerman. >> tonya mill err, thank you so much. >> thank you. have you heard about this? what started out as a school board meeting ended in a

i'd rather you do not see my notes. nobody saw that report. >> the final prosecution witness in the zimmerman trial caused chaos in the courtroom. what secrets were revealed in the mysterious notes of dr. bayo. i've been here nine years. i ain't never seen it like this. >> soggy and scorching. that's the forecast in the east this weekend. from florida to boston, we are in for some extreme weather. tell him to kiss my butt. >> if you think that's outrageous coming from a state governor, it's nothing compared to his colorful metaphors. we've got the greatest hits from maine's main man. good morning, everyone. rise and shine. great to have you with us on this saturday morning. i'm pamela brown. >> i'm victor blackwell. thanks for starting your morning with us. first up on this "new day,"
5:01 am
egypt, it's on edge this morning. >> a huge crowd of protesters are gathering in the capital. they are furious that the military removed president mohamed morsi from power. violence exploded overnight there. >> we've got live pictures here for you. at least 30 people have been killed. more than 1,000 others have been hurt. now, our reporter filed this report just a little while ago. reza? >> reporter: some of the most intense clashes have taken place where we are. that is the front entrance to the social club to the presidential guard. of course, over the past few days, state media reporting that's where the former president, mohamed morsi, has been held in custody. so many emotions here, people are angry. they're enraged. they're furious. but then you see people who are somber, sitting down with posters of mohamed morsi, and they're praying. what do you plan to do now?
5:02 am
>> we're fighting to stay here until our president returns. >> reporter: what do you want? >> i want to die or get mohamed morsi. >> reporter: one of the demonstrators in tears is calling us to come over here. and he's saying, "this is the blood. this is the blood of someone who passed away." over the past hour, one after another, we've seen apache helicopters go up above. there's another one. here's another one. every time these choppers go up above, they get a reaction from the crowd. this is as close as we've gotten to the front line here. some of the demonstrators sitting down. and there you see some soldiers from the military. and interestingly enough, you see police, police officers who appear to be absent during the past few days. when mohamed morsi needed them, when the muslim brotherhood needed them to protect the muslim brotherhood headquarters
5:03 am
and they weren't there, they are out in force right now with the military, protecting this barricade, the entrance to the social club of the presidential guard. >> reza joins us now from cairo. reza, do we know where the former president is right now? where is morsi? >> reporter: first off, victor, we should point out that the report you just saw was actually yesterday evening. and president morsi, according to reports, is at that location. according to state media, he's inside the headquarters of the presidential guard. he's been kept in custody there, according to state media, now being investigated on charges and accusations that he made some inciteful statements, and that's why the demonstrators and supporters made their way over there, thousands of them. today things are quiet right now, but the day is young and the anger has not subsided. many of his supporters are planning to demonstrate there
5:04 am
again as well as another location. and the question is, how much longer can they come out and protest? how much longer will they be able to demonstrate? and also, the question is how will this conflict be resolved? how will the interim president get these two sides together? how will the armed forces who's playing a critical role, how will they be able to get these two sides together? victor? >> you raise a really good point there, reza. you know, my question is, could this set a protest, the removal of an unpopular leader, is this kind of the new normal there with this democratic process? >> reporter: that's the concern that a lot of people have. this was a president who was democratically elected, even though a lot of people didn't like him. now after a year in office, he has been ousted, thanks to a very large uprising and the help of the armed forces. and the question many have, the next president who comes in, what if islamists don't like him? what if there is an uprising against him? do we start this cycle over
5:05 am
again? and that's why a lot of people are concerned. that there is a precedent being set. not just here in egypt but other countries in this region who are going through the arab spring and trying to get this democratic process right. >> reza sayeh for us in cairo this morning, thank you. so here's a question. what's the best way to annoy the white house? >> what do you think? >> well, i'm just going to read what's been written because there could be a lot of answers for that. offer edward snowden a place to live. >> where he can leak more damaging information about american spying. snowden, of course, as we likely know by now, a fugitive who leaked details of the nsa surveillance program and has been on the run ever since. his home for the past two weeks has been an airport terminal in moscow, but maybe not for much longer. cnn's frederick pleitgen joins us now. thanks for being here. who is willing to give asylum to snowden? >> reporter: well, there's two
5:06 am
countries that are saying that they want to give snowden asylum. one of them is venezuela where the president came out and said yes, he would be willing to give snowden asylum. he said so in a speech at a police academy last night. and this is really the biggest that we've ever heard from anyone. this is the first time we've ever heard a leader say yes, we are going to give this man asylum. on the other hand, you have nicaragua where the president said yeah, we'd be willing to think about giving him asylum if all the outside circumstances are correct. so that seems to show there has to be some sort of process in place. but certainly the venezuelans seem to have the most real offer on the table for edward snowden. that's certainly something that's making the russians quite happy. they have become increasingly annoyed at his presence here. there have been several russian officials including the russian president saying this cannot go on for very much longer. we want edward snowden to find some sort of country to go to as fast as possible. on the other side, the russians have always said they are not going to extradite him to the
5:07 am
united states. they keep arguing that he's outside their jurisdiction because he's still in the transit lounge. certainly there would be ways for them to get to snowden if they really wanted to. it would really be difficult for them internally also if they gave snowden back to the u.s., pam. >> all right. we'll see what happens. we'll see how snowden gets from point a to point b. fred pleitgen, thank you so much, reporting from moscow. let's talk more about the white house. probably is not surprised by this asylum offer. >> yeah, but it's probably not happy either, especially after days of pressuring countries to turn down snowden. and to help the u.s. bring him to justice. cnn's renee marsh is chasing that angle. any comment from the obama administration? >> pam and victor, so far all is quiet here in washington. no comment coming from the white house and no comment from the state department on both countries' offer of asylum to edward snowden. the president is spenti inspend weekend at camp david, but it is
5:08 am
likely a working vacation and he is likely following these latest developments. pam? victor? >> u.s. officials, they really can't be shocked by this, although there is, in name, new leadership in venezuela. venezuela has always been an adversary to the u.s., right? >> well, as fred mentioned here, you know, does this mean that he's scot-free? will he make his way to venezuela? this is what we can tell you. it's his best option at this point, but whether it's venezuela or nicaragua, it becomes -- that becomes snowden's safe haven, the united states has had a rocky, rocky relationship with both countries because both latin american countries of their relationship with iran. we know that either way you slice it, the united states will have very little sway as far as where he ends up, whether it be venezuela or not. victor? >> it seems like those countries just love to annoy the u.s. >> you know, is the last option or the last chance for the u.s.
5:09 am
to get him somehow in the transit from this lounge to the plane or through -- i mean, once he lands in caracas, is that it for him? >> is that it? you know what? the short answer is we don't know. he's believed to still be at that airport in moscow. he still needs to get from moscow to venezuela, and it's not a direct flight. he may go through havana. and the president has said in the past that he's not going to use jets to bring down a plane. but the truth of the matter is this. we don't know what strategy the united states is planning to take. it still remains a mystery. but what remains clear is that edward snowden has been a problem for the administration that just will not go away. he recently allegedly leaked information the united states snooped on allies like germany and france and bugged european union offices. of course, this revelation coming right before the u.s. meets with the eu for a major trade agreement.
5:10 am
negotiations. back to you guys. >> rene marsh in washington for us. thank you, rene. >> sure. some unbelievable pictures this morning. take a look. a train carrying crude oil headed for maine has derailed and exploded in canada's quebec province. look at this explosion in this video posted online. an afill rat reports that some of the fuel on that train has spilled into a nearby rivers. flames can reportedly be seen for miles away. that fire sent locals scrambling for safety, and authorities evacuated neighborhoods near that crash. still no information at this time about casualties. of course, we'll keep you updated on this story. you know, it's been a wet and rainy holiday break for a lot of the u.s., but the good thing is sparklers are pretty resilient, and they stay lit in the rain. >> do they? did you try that out on the fourth of july? >> many years ago. but yes, i learned they do stay lit in the rain. >> unfortunately the weather is not getting much better as we head into the weekend. karen mcinnis is here with the
5:11 am
headlines. where is the rain? >> we've got plenty of it, pamela. thanks for joining us in the studio for today. and victor, good morning to everyone. and yes, plenty of wet weather being found all the way being pumped across florida and into kentucky. i just saw a report coming out of russellville, kentucky. they saw just over five inches of rain, and they were saying they had to do some evacuations there. here is the rain train. that ridge of high pressure just kind of tapping that return flow coming up from the south. and as a result, days and days and days of rainfall across florida, extending on into the tennessee river valley. well, there's going to be a little bit of a shift. we'll start to see that high pressure ridge shift a bit so those temperatures exceptionally hot into the northeast of new england. it's still months across the southwest, but they're starting to see that monsoonal moisture kick in. in the last 72 hours, inlet beach, florida, just under 20 inches of rain. and if you are headed to new england, new york, 90s, but we'll start to see 80s by

15 minutes after the hour now. the murder trial of george zimmerman is in recess for the weekend. prosecutors rested friday after nine days, 38 witnesses and more than 200 exhibits introduced into evidence. now, also friday, the mothers of trayvon martin and george zimmerman, they both took the stand. you see them there on your screen. each testified it was her son
5:16 am
screaming on a 911 tape-recorded the night zimmerman shot and killed martin. let's bring in cnn legal correspondent, jean casarez. jean, was there one mother who gave a net advantage to one team or the other? >> reporter: you know, it's interesting. when you look at their testimony, neither one of them cited a specific instance in the life of their child when they heard that scream, and so when they heard it again, they knew it was their son. didn't hear that, but with trayvon martin's mother -- and the defense actually brought this out -- that she was in a room filled with people. it was at the mayor's office when that tape was played. that's not good, according to the experts. you're not supposed to put everybody together to try to determine whose voice it is. it needs to be done individually. but in this filled room that sybrina fulton was in, the tape was played, and she was the first person to just sort of say, "that's my son." that leads to some credibility
5:17 am
with what she is saying because the fbi sat through testimony, the best way to determine somebody who's screaming is somebody who is familiar with the voice. on the converse, the uncle of zimmerman who is an orange county sheriff's deputy said that he was in his house. he was working at his desk, not facing the television. he heard the call, heard the scream. he turned to his wife, and he said, "that's georgie." and he's been familiar with his voice since he was born. so i think both sides lent some credibility to that. >> let's talk about the defense's case. they started with a couple of witnesses on friday. they'll continue to call them next week. what do they need to do? of course, the burden of proof is on the state, but what do they have to do to keep this from going to a conviction? >> reporter: they have to show that there is self-defense, and then it will go back to the state to show beyond a reasonable doubt it was not self-defense. we do know from their opening statement some of the witnesses they're going to put on. the first is vincent dimaio. don't know when he'll take the stand, but he is a foremost

5:21 am
21 minutes after the hour. and more trouble for paula deen. the fbi now has a man in custody who they say tried to blackmail deen. >> it just seems like it won't end. the saga continues. the plan threatened to release information about deen unless he was paid $250,000. our jason carroll is following this story. jason, good morning to you. what do we know about the threat? >> it's all spelled out in this criminal complaint. and is it really makes for interesting reading. apparently this all started and happened on friday. that's when fbi agents arrested thomas packolis and charged him in this extortion scheme. i want you to take a look at the picture of the 62-year-old.
5:22 am
there he is. investigators say five days after deen's now infamous admonition became public, that's the one where they admitted to using the "n" word, he sent an e-mail to deen's money wanting money. he threatened to divulge information about deen using the "n" word at her restaurant in georgia. he sent an e-mail saying the statements are true and damning enough that the case will be won on its merit alone. as always, there is a price for such information. you can contact me here if you feel it is necessary, or i can go public and we will see what happens then. the criminal complaint said deen's lawyer and paculis exchanged more e-mails and telephone calls. an amount of $250,000 was eventually agreed upon. paculis then allegedly sent another e-mail to a different attorney saying the burning question is, do you want in? i still have the chance to bring this together, but time is
5:23 am
slowly running out. i have them hooked, but reeling this sucker in is going to be hard without help. give me a call. investigators showed deen pictures of paculis. she told them she did not recognize him or his name. before these allegations came to light, deen's son -- both of her sons came to their mother's defense on cnn. >> our mother is not the picture that's being painted. it's not -- well, life's not fair. it's inaccurate what people are saying about her. it's inaccurate. and the people that know us know that this is untruthful, and i think in the end, it's going to work itself out. >> well, paculis used to live in georgia, but now he lives in upstate new york. he appeared before a federal judge friday and was released on bond. his next court date is scheduled for july 16th. i should also point out that we did attempt to reach paculis by e-mail, also by phone, and he did not return our e-mails or
5:24 am
our phone calls. we'll have to see what happens with this. it's a story that just seems to keep on giving. >> yep. never ends. jason carroll, thank you so much for that report. >> you bet. all right. so this is our politicians say what segment. there are several aides. >> you did a good job with that. >> thank you. take a look at some of the outlandish things they say. >> not today, not a few. we have one politician who will take up the entire segment. you're about to see why that is. governor paul le page, ever heard of him? here he is. the great state of maine, population 1.3 million. and he's running into some problems because of his mouth. for example, this comment he recently made about a state senator in maine. take a listen to this. >> senator jackson claims to be for the people, but he's the first one to give it to the people without providing vaseline. >> yeah, you didn't hear that. he said "without providing
5:25 am
vaseline." that's what he said. but -- oh, but -- he tried to dial that back. >> of course. >> yeah. so he came back with this gem. >> that comment is not politically correct, but we've got to understand who this man is. this man is a bad person. he doesn't only have no brains, he has a black heart. >> listen, at least he realized that that's politically incorrect. let me go back and try to clean it up. >> yeah. >> to be fair, at least, the governor has made comments before, controversial remarks even before he was governor. i want you to listen to what he said about president obama when lepage was still campaigning. >> and as your governor, you're going to be seeing a lot of me on the front page saying, governor lepage tells obama to go to hell. >> well, turns out he doesn't just have it out for the federal government. it seems even the naacp made its
5:26 am
list. back in 2011, he announced he was not going to attend an event to honor martin luther king jr. the naacp questioned his decision not to go. and brace yourself. here's the full statement of what he said. >> they invited me to go to the state prison to meet black prisoners. i told them i would go. i'd be more than happy to go, but i would meet all prisoners. and that wasn't acceptable to them. so tough luck. >> and what's your response to them saying this is more than just one instance but rather a pattern? >> tell them to kiss my butt. >> and if that's not enough for you, how about this one? the governor lifted a ban on bpa, a chemical used to make plastics. he was quick to downplay what some say is a dangerous chemical, and somehow it morphed into this. >> the only thing that i've heard if you take a plastic bottle and put it in the microwave and heat it up, it gives off a chemical similar to estrogen.
5:27 am
so, i mean, the worst case is some woman might have little beards, but we don't want to do that. >> that's the worst case. >> worst case. >> is a beard. >> yeah. worst case. >> the governor has announced his plans to run for re-election. >> it seems like he knows what he says is politically incorrect. >> how often do we talk about chris christie, and he says it like it is or says it the way it needs to be said. >> so we wouldn't be visurprise if he was re-elected. >> i don't know if the vaseline works in that same vein. >> we'll see. in egypt, protesters are fighting to be heard. they've taken to the streets, armed and dangerous as both sides clash over new direction of the country. we'll have the very latest right after this break. stay with us. la's known definitely for its traffic,

jury. >> you have. so we're ready for the next question. >> getting pretty heated there. >> yeah, i can't imagine that the state is happy with that being the final witness. >> no. and of course the question is, will this hurt the state? we're going to talk about that coming up at 10:00 this morning. the zimmerman trial resumes monday. the defense is set to call its next witness at 9:00 a.m. eastern time. >> a lot of people on this long holiday weekend. four days if you're lucky enough to have it off. >> not us. >> no. we haven't exactly had the weather to cooperate with our outdoor plans. >> yeah, from our record heat out west to a soggy south, this has hardly been your usual summer. let's get over to centennial park here in atlanta where we find our karen maginnis. >> you're back outside? i thought they let you back in. >> i was briefly back in. we've got the misty weather conditions. the mildew factor has been running pretty high in atlanta where we've seen double the normal amount of precipitation. but between the devastating
5:37 am
tornado in moore, oklahoma, back in may that killed dozens of people, injured hundreds all the way to the searing heat in the desert southwest, it has been a summer of extremes. >> reporter: the saturday swelter is on along the east coast. new york city, boston, philadelphia all sizzling, making it feel like they're in triple-digit conditions thanks to the high humidity. emergency officials in the big apple have now opened the city's many cooling stations with heat advisories now extending through the weekend. the big-time heat didn't keep the crowds from flocking to the spectacular light shows this extended holiday weekend. but the blistering temps were just too much for some. 120 people received medical attention at boston's esplinade. it's a different picture across other parts of the nation. heavy rains and floods continue across much of the south. parts of the florida panhandle received as much as 18 inches of rain.
5:38 am
there is also the high threat of rip currents with thousands heading to the beach this weekend. one north carolina man drowned off holden beach, the fourth drowning in the area this week. and in the west, golf ball-sized hail pummeling parts of northern california and new mexico. a summer surprise for an area that normally sees temperatures in the 90s. no doubt this season has seen its share of extreme weather from deadly tornadoes to massive wildfires, widespread heat and floods, and especially severe summer impacting us all. well, it does seem as if into the northeast and new england, those temperatures that are running into the mid to upper 90s, a good 10 degrees above where they should be, you'll be back down to near normal into the start of the workweek. it looks like that could stick around a little bit. pamela and victor, the one thing that will change things as we're stuck in this weather pattern, that would be a tropical system, and that's a whole different
5:39 am
ball game. back to you. >> yeah, not looking forward to a tropical system. all right, karen maginnis, hopefully you can come back in soon. >> they'll let me. the marathon filibuster threw her state's position into the spotlight. we'll talk with both sides on the abortion debate about why republicans across the country are putting the issue front and center. first, a review this holiday week has seen a government takeover in egypt, extreme weather across the u.s. and the ultimate sacrifice of 19 firefighters. here's a look back at the week in pictures. [ male announcer ] this is bob, a regular guy with an irregular heartbeat. the usual, bob?

not today. [ male announcer ] bob has afib: atrial fibrillation not caused by a heart valve problem, a condition that puts him at greater risk for a stroke. [ gps ] turn left. i don't think so. [ male announcer ] for years, bob took warfarin, and made a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but not anymore. bob's doctor recommended a different option: once-a-day xarelto®. xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce the risk of an afib-related stroke. there is limited data on how these drugs compare when warfarin is well managed. no routine blood monitoring means bob can spend his extra time however he likes. new zealand! xarelto® is just one pill a day, taken with the evening meal. and with no dietary restrictions, bob can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for you.

stopping may increase your risk of having a stroke. get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of bleeding, like unusual bruising or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you currently have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto®, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. ready to change your routine? ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. for more information including cost support options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com.
5:42 am
a new battlefront emerged this week in the fight over abortion rights. in north carolina, the republican-controlled state senate approved new limits on abortion clinics. it got tacked on to a bill designed to block islamic sharia law. the controversial move came on the heels of texas state senator wendy davis's 11-hour filibuster that killed a bill banning abortions after 20 weeks. but rather than accept defeat, governor rick perry called
5:43 am
another special session to give the bill another go. and just yesterday wisconsin became the latest state to approve tougher abortion restrictions. so now i want to bring in elise hogue and marjorie, president of a nonprofit that wants to end abortion here in america. thank you both for being here. marjorie, let's start with north carolina here. even though the republican governor there is questioning the way these limits on abortion clinics were passed, my question to you is, was it fair or was it sneaky to put these measures into a bill that had nothing to do with abortion? >> well, the least of the matter is how they -- is the last 24 hours because i'm from north carolina. i was in the legislature not that long ago talking to legislators there. it is not new that these measures are on the table, and it's certainly not new that they're on the table given the overall context of what's going on in abortion clinics across the country.
5:44 am
north carolina, virginia, delaware and maryland, west virginia on and on where women are being exploited, and unborn children are treated as worse than trash, going to the extent of even using their body parts as trophies in some places. it is really horrendous. and to question the motives of how it's getting to the governor's desk at this point really is beside the point. >> so you don't think it's sneaky, the way they were put in? >> it's not sneaky. no, it's not sneaky. would it be sneaky if you were throwing yourself in front of a train to save another person's life? well, it might be sneaky because it would be at the last minute. but it's also helping save people's lives and really honestly, the people who are opposed to this are more interested in the institution of abortion than they are about the individual lives they're s that affected by it. >> i want to ask you, texas is in the middle of a second special legislative session to take up what's effectively a
5:45 am
20eek abortion ban. this process is legal, so why is there so much hand wringing over this second special session, elise? >> i think what we're seeing is a frustration because when you've got an extreme agenda like the one that marjorie purports -- marjorie, with all due respect, her views are way out of step with the american people. marjorie once said that having sex out of the context of giving birth is not -- you know, it breaks a connection. that's not the way most american women live their lives. and these legislative sessions are being driven by those extreme politics. now, the politicians know they don't have the people on their side, which is why they're resorting to these kinds of sneaky, dirty tricks. they're cheating the process in order to win. and that really riles people up. when i was down in texas, i saw a lot of people who really are opposed to this bill on the substance. i mean, in order to actually save women's lives, we've got to have accessible medical care. and this will would shut down 37 of the 42 clinics in the state. however, lots of people are also
5:46 am
extremely concerned that the elected officials that are supposed to uphold the law of the land are now changing the rules at the last minute to drive an extreme ideological agenda that is so out of step with where women and men across the country are. >> that is amazing. show some respect for the will of the women in texas and women in this country, ilyse. women in texas support this measure 2-1. young people and women support a 20-week ban by a majority. >> 70% of americans -- >> between you and me about who's out of step. >> roe versus wade is the law of the land, and it should be. when people like marjorie outlaw abortion, you get people like kermit gosnell who are hurting women and hurting babies, as marjorie said. the existence of kermit gosnell, if we want to be sure there is a
5:47 am
butchic here that in every city and town across the country -- >> let me jump in here really quickly because we're showing here a full screen of this latest polling. and it does put things in perspective here. this is from late june. it shows that less than half of americans would support such a ban. nearly all abortions after 20 weeks. but this is what's interesting here. we break it down by gender. exactly half of the women support such a ban. so marjorie. >> i think it's really important to understand that -- >> no, i believe that ilyse -- >> let me jump in here, ilyse. marjorie, your group is lobbying marko rubio of florida to sponsor a to-week ban in the u.s. senate. you told cnn rubio wants to do it, but in this latest poll, support is split. how is this going to happen? plus democrats control the senate. >> well, if you've got the majority of american people siding on anything on the abortion issue, i say run with it. and it goes past extremes. it goes past ilyse's position which is you cannot restrict at any point along the way.
5:48 am
it goes past the lack of outrage that her organization and others have treated us all with when there are ex- -- there is exploitation of women going on in every clinic, almost every single clinic in the country, at least in every state in this country. and there's not a word, not a peep. how about the american workers who just left delaware saying those nurses who said these are meat market assembly line style of abortions. and i can't possibly work in this place anymore? >> let me ask you this. in light of the surge on the state level, you know, do you have concern here about roe versus wade? what's your take on all this? >> no. i mean, these 20-week bans are not only unconstitutional, but they also are less than 2% of abortions in the nation. and they are the most desperate women who are facing unimaginable medical conditions. and most americans understand that this is a tiny percentage of abortion.
5:49 am
and they don't want extreme advocates like marjorie and the politicians on her side deciding for them. this is a decision that women face with their families and their doctors. they're heartbreaking decisions. i think that politicians deciding is very, very dangerous. and most people understand that. that's why 70% of americans support roe. it is the law of the land. and the state politicians who are legislating it out of existence are going to face a political problem at the ball loss box. >> ilyse, marjorie, thank you for that spirited debate. this conversation will, no doubt, continue. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. victor. >> experted indeed. we'll have a first-time women's champion at wimbledon today. will it be bartoli or lis siick. she'll take on france's amanda bartoli. we'll have a live report. but first, a nascar champion
5:50 am
impacts the world of wounded veterans with his inspiration off the track. >> hi, i'm nascar driver brad ke keselowski. i believe that we can make an impact on the lives of our veterans. the checkered flag foundation was created to help out those who make sacrifices for us as americans. we will be going very, very fast. the key program is the race to recovery. it's a chance for several service men and women who have gone through traumatic events to come to the racetrack and experience a race weekend. and then on the third day, we come back and take them for rides in the race cars at full speed. my goal with our veterans when we get done with the experience, leave the program and feel like they can stand a little straighter, walk a little prouder and help them to reintegrate into society here back stateside. >> it freakin' rocked.
5:51 am
>> a good time. >> i think they need somebody to put an arm around their shoulder and show them the way. join the movement. impact your world. cnn.com/impact. my asthma's under control. i don't miss out...

5:54 am
we are just minutes away from the women's final at wimbledon. germany's sabine lisicki will be looking for her first grand slam victory. >> amanda is live with us amanda, there's a contrast in style because you've got lisicki and then bartoli has this unconventional style, right? >> reporter: yeah, that's very true. welcome to southwest london. the sun is shining. the bands have been playing.
5:55 am
the champagne is flowing. everything you'd expect, really, for a ladies final day here at wimbledon. what you probably wouldn't have expected is these two players here in the ladies final. sabine lisicki and marian bartoli. she has a double handed forehand and backhand like her heroine, monica seles, widely regarded as one of the best returns of serve in the women's game. she's up against lisicki with one of the best serves in the game, very big-hitting player who's very popular with the crowds here. she's also got a great forehand on her as well. bartoli is the highest seed, but lisicki, many people's favorite to take the title today because of her route to the final, she's seen off big names. the four seed and, of course, she knocked out the five-time champion, serena williams, as well. promises to be a great match there. the last time they met was
5:56 am
actually here on the grass at wimbledon two years ago. it was lisicki who won that encounter, but it was a tight three-set match. and the same very much expected today. the players are due out on court in about five minutes' time. >> all right. amanda davies from wimbledon, thank you so much. it doesn't seem like there's any less excitement out there that serena isn't in the final. >> people are excited. they paid for the tickets, they're going to be there. >> the champagne is flowing. a lot more coming up. we're going to go back to egypt as the pro-morsi and anti-morsi protests continue. more live coverage from cairo and across egypt coming up. ♪ [ male announcer ] fight pepperoni heartburn and pepperoni breath fast with tums freshers. concentrated relief that goes to work in seconds and freshens breath. tums freshers. ♪ tum...tum...tum...tum... tums! ♪ fast heartburn relief and minty fresh breath.

5:59 am
good morning, everyone. i'm pamela brown. time to start your "new day." >> i'm victor blackwell. 9:00 in the east. this is "new day saturday." >> first up, tensions are rising in one of the closest allies the u.s. has in the middle east.
6:00 am
>> protesters are gathering again in part of egypt's capital, cairo, today. they are furious that the military kicked president mohamed morsi out of power. and this was the scene in parts of egypt overnight. look at this. streets were just war zones. battle left dozens dead, more than 1,000 people have been hurt. >> cnn's reza sayeh joins us on the phone from cairo. we've been seeing protests, clashes, gunfire in the past few days. how is the situation now? has it calmed down at all? >> reporter: well, this morning things were calm throughout cairo. this afternoon, things were calm, but it's about 3:00 p.m. right now. and you get the impression that supporters of the ousted president, mohamed morsi, are gearing up again, getting ready for another round of demonstrations in multiple locations throughout cairo. this after an incredibly intense and dramatic day of protests yesterday when there were clashes between supporters and opponents of the ousted president. dramatic face-offs where i am
6:01 am
between supporters and mr. morsi and security forces. where i am is the headquarters of the president's guard. reportedly, according to state med media, this is where mr. morsi has been held in custody, now being investigated, according to authorities, on accusations that he incited deadly violence. when these demonstrators started protesting, many of them, thousands of them, made their way here in a symbolic gesture of solidarity. many of them said, we're going to stay here until we get our president outside of the president's guard's headquarters and taken back to where he belongs, and that's the palace because many people here still believe that this is their legitimate president. and what happened on wednesday, the ouster of mohamed morsi, went against every basic democratic principle, and that's why they're absolutely outraged. >> reza, i want to expound upon that because ben wedeman, i believe it was two days ago, was speaking with two men in a
6:02 am
pro-morsi protest. and they made clear that they were not members or supporters of the muslim brotherhood, but they were supporters of morsi. if you can give us more details about who these people are, this huge crowd we're seeing, we don't want to give the idea that all of these people are supporters of the muslim brotherhood explicitly. >> reporter: this conflict is complicated. it's not black and white. the popular narrative is that on one side, you have the moderates, the liberals, the secularists. on the other side, you have the islamists, the conservatives, the muslim brotherhood. we've talked to a significant number of people who say no, i'm a liberal. i'm not an islamist. i'm not a supporter of the muslim brotherhood. i am a supporter of the democratic process. and what happened here this week was undemocratic. especially after what egyptians went through in 2011. their position is that was a revolution to establish democracy. and electing a president freely
6:03 am
and fairly. and then after a year, pushing him out because of an uprising and an intervention by the military is undemocratic. no matter how you look at it. that's why they're upset. so it's a little complicated, the two sides. it's not black and white. and that's why moving forward, getting these two sides together, making everyone happy, seems to be an incredibly difficult challenge. and at this hour, there's no solution in sight. >> and reza, in light of the violence there, should the u.s. be concerned for its allies like israel? >> reporter: well, there's always going to be concern. but what's important to point out, there's absolutely no sign that beyond egypt's borders, there's any concern right now. there's any indication that there's going to be any kind of spillover. right now the turmoil, the volatility is in egypt. it's a political crisis. and now in some parts, it's turning violent. dozens of people killed yesterday. so the concern is what's happening in egypt domestically right now.
6:04 am
>> reza sayeh for us live in cairo this morning. 3:00 p.m. there. thank you. edward snowden's two-week layover could soon be over. >> and the american fugitive could find himself booking a ticket for south america. snowden is the former intel analyst who leaked details of the nsa surveillance program and has been hiding at moscow's airport. but he's been offered a new life in a country that isn't afraid of the u.s. cnn's frederick pleitgen joins me from moscow. good morning to you. first tell us who's willing to give asylum to snowden? >> reporter: hi, pam. well, the first and foremost country is venezuela where the president there said he's willing to take snowden. that's the most concrete offer snowden has gotten so far. maduro made a speech late last night where he said that i believed snowden was a great man and did something great for america and europe as well by disclosing those nsa internet eavesdropping programs. and he said that he would be
6:05 am
willing to give snowden asylum in venezuela. now, there was another country, nick raug nicaragua, but they still have to go through a technical process to see whether or not they would be able to give him asylum. now the logistics come into place. we believe if snowden would try to make his way from moscow to venezuela or to nicaragua, he would probably have to go to cuba. there is no flight from moscow to cuba today. so certainly it doesn't seem as though he would be going today if, in fact, he would be traveling by a normal airliner, pam. >> and we haven't seen him since this started two weeks ago. and it's very clear, fred, that he has certainly overstayed his welcome in moscow. >> reporter: yes. yeah, you're absolutely right. there's absolutely no doubt -- first of all, we haven't seen him at all. and we've had teams on the ground at the airport inside that transit lounge 24 hours a day for the past two weeks. no one has seen him there. no one knows where he's hiding
6:06 am
out. no one knows if he's with russian authorities or not. the russians are, of course, saying he's not on their soil, so there isn't much they can do. they certainly can't hand him over to the u.s. vladimir putin is feeling a lot of pressure because of all this. there's analysts who told me they believed at the beginning this looks like a great thing for putin. it was a way to defy the u.s. a little built. they thought snowden was going to leave quickly. but the longer he stays, the more difficult it becomes because putin can't hand snowden over to the u.s., or he'd be absolutely humiliated here at home. but at the same time, of course, there's a very important cent l strategic relationship between the u.s. and russia. and certainly vladimir putin does not want to endanger that over edward snowden. >> fred pleitgen, thank you so much for your analysis. we really appreciate it. a train carrying crude oil headed for maine has derailed and exploded in canada's quebec province. take a look at this explosion. an affiliate reports that some of the fuel on that train has
6:07 am
spilled into a nearby river. flames can reportedly be seen for miles away. the fire sent locals scrambling for safety, and autrities evacuated neighborhoods near that crash. there's no information at this time about casualties. of course, we'll keep you posted on any developments with that story. an historic flight under way this morning. but it's slow going up the east coast. we'll update you on the progress of solar impulse up next. geico's defensive driver,ke 13. good student and multi-policy discounts could save you hundreds of dollus. engineer: uh geico's discounts could save you hundreds of "doll-ars." it sounds like you're saying "dollus." dollus. engineeif you could accentuate the "r" sound of "dollars." are...are... are... engineer: are... arrrrrr. arrrrr. someone bring me an eye patch, i feel like a bloomin' pirate. geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. honestly, i feel like i nailed that.
6:08 am
6:09 am
6:10 am
this guy looks like he's on drugs or something. >> are you following him? >> yeah. >> okay, we don't need you to do that. >> okay. >> so you think he's yelling "help"? >> yes. >> there's gunshots. >> you just heard gunshots? >> yes. >> how many? >> just one. and now to florida where the trial of george zimmerman is in recess for the weekend. >> on friday the mothers of trayvon martin and george zimmerman, they took the stand. each testified about who she thought was screaming on a 911 tape. that tape was recorded the night zimmerman shot and killed martin. let's bring in cnn legal correspondent, jean casarez. jean, is there one mother who helped the state or the defense more? >> reporter: you know, i think both mothers testified that they believed it was their son's voice because it was their son.
6:11 am
the horror, the terror that they knew that was their son. but there's even more about that testimony because sybrina fulton, she also had the job of, in a sense, i.d.'ing her son for the jury. and she said some things that are evidence now, but extremely emotional. she said that trayvon martin had a tattoo on his shoulder that was praying hands with pearls through them. and the name of his grandma and the name of his great-grandma were on that tattoo. and then on his left wrist, she testified he had my name. so his mother's name was on his left wrist. as far as george zimmerman's mother, i mean, i think just to see george zimmerman's mother on the stand for this jury to see her, she is from peru. she is peruvian. and she testified just so emotionally also that the terror and the fright, she knew it was her son. what the jury didn't hear was that she was a clerk in a court for her entire career. george zimmerman comes from a
6:12 am
law and justice family. >> so it might be the emotion aspect of this. >> yeah. >> that plays the biggest role. >> we have to remember there are mothers on this jury. five of them? five of the six, right, jean? >> reporter: five of the six are mothers. >> and you know, you have to wonder, the state has arrested its case. do you think that the prosecution proved its case against george zimmerman, that he is guilty of second-degree murder? >> reporter: you know, what's interesting about the second-degree murder case is they have to show beyond a reasonable doubt ill will, hatred, spite, evil intent. the defense has made that point. if you say it's in the words of george zimmerman in the 911 call, if you say it's in the fact that he shot him, then what demonstrates that hatred? because if you listen to zimmerman's voice, it's just sort of, you know, sort of the way george zimmerman talks. you don't hear that animation of that hatred. the prosecution says otherwise. it was building, building,
6:13 am
building. and that was the pinnacle point that night. >> all right. we'll resume monday at 9:00. jean casarez, thank you. >> reporter: thank you. have you seen this? a funny-looking plane is about to make aviation history. the solar impulse, an aircraft powered by the sun, just departed from dulles international in washington headed for new york city. it's the last flight of a five-leg trip across the u.s. >> this is a creeper. it's going pretty slow. cnn's rene marsh is in d.c. with the latest. this is the solar impulse, pretty slow. how long until it reaches new york? >> well, you know what, victor? it's not going to get to new york until around 2:00 sunday morning. you are right. it is moving very slow. about 40 miles per hour. as you mentioned, it took off from the washington, d.c., area just before 5:00 this morning. and then the folks there in new york will see it at jfk airport. now, we actually have a live look inside of the cockpit. we want to go to that. of the pilot who is flying right now as we speak.
6:14 am
so there you are. that is swiss adventurer andre boshwork. they are currently around atlantic city. now, the cockpit is just as small as it looks in that shot there. he's been confined in that small space for just over four hours with several more hours to go. the plane is powered solely by the sun. but it is able to store up enough energy so it can fly at night as well. so if you are in the new york area, you look to the sky around 11:00 tonight, the solar impulse team is planning to do a low-altitude fly-by the sat yta of liberty. they'll have a spotlight on the plane so you will not miss it. and the trip will be more than to hours long. i just had to ask the pilot, what do you do when nature calls? what do you do when nature calls? take a listen to what he told me. >> for me it's simple because we start with a bottle of water on
6:15 am
the right side, an empty bottle on the left. and when we land, the bottle on the right is empty. we have filled the bottle on the left. >> all right. well, the plane is the weight of a car. it has the wingspan of a 747. it has four engines that total ten horsepower. that's about a small motor scooter. pamela? victor? >> it's interesting because as soon as you said 20 hours, pamela leaned over to me and said, "when does he go to the bathroom?" ? >> that's what we were all wondering. i know our viewers at home were thinking the exact same thing, right? >> yes. and we're glad you got the answer. >> thanks for clearing that up. great report. thank you. >> thank you. this is something we've been talking about all morning. the world awaits a future queen or king. we are headed live to london where the country is on a royal baby watch, preparing for big news from wills and kate. i think farmers care more about the land
6:16 am
than probably anyone else. we've had this farm for 30 years. we raise black and red angus cattle. we also produce natural gas. that's how we make our living and that's how we can pass the land and water back to future generations. people should make up their own mind what's best for them. all i can say is it has worked well for us.

royal baby training potty complete with music. london's bookies are taking bets. people here seem to think the baby will be a girl. the name alexandra is currently topping the list with the odds of 7-2. and what would a big royal event be without its own coin? british babies born the same day will be eligible to receive one of these, a 2013 silver penny. and erin is live in london for us. i just saw in your piece about the special coins that will be given to babies born on the same day as the royal baby. why silver? >> reporter: well, it's a british tradition to give a newborn baby a little bit of silver as a sign of good luck. so they've produced 2,013 of these silver pennies. on average, some 2,000 babies are born every day here this in uk.
6:21 am
it's a little bit of silver, a little tradition, a little luck, not just for the royal baby, but for babies born on that very special day throughout the uk. pamela? >> so much anticipation for this birth. how will we even know the baby's been born? >> reporter: well, the first indication that we'll get that a royal baby is on the way will be in the form of an announcement from the palace saying the duchess of cambridge has been admitted to hospital in the early stages of labor. we won't hear much more until the baby has actually been born. the queen has been notified. and then doctors at the hospital will write down on a piece of paper the sex of the baby as well as some more of the birth information. that piece of paper will be escorted via police to the gates of buckingham palace where it will be displayed on an easel for all the world to see. people here pretty excited, pamela. >> absolutely. all right, erin mclaughlin, live for us in london, thank you so much.

so now we know what's happening in london, how about what's happening online? let's do that. john berman has the best of what he learned from the internet this week. john? >> reporter: happy weekend, victor and pamela. the weekend is a great time for sports. and as we were looking at the internet this week, we found some sports that will shock you. they call this bubble soccer, or bubble football. because it seems mostly to be a european thing. they appear to be much more into vinyl and inflatables than we are. but this is what happens when people get dressed up as giant beach balls and try to play sports. this has been going on for a while, and there are real teams and everything. if that's hard to believe, this seems nearly impossible. meet emily jackson. emily is a world champion freestyle kayaker. notice anything different about her? yes, she's way awesome, she is also way pregnant.
6:23 am
nearly nine months when she won this competition last week. i guess this dispels the old wives' tale that freestyle kayaking induces labor. the 23-year-old is due july 19th. labor can't be any harder than that. maybe it is. if combination sports is your thing, how about this car/boat or boat/car? not sure which one and not sure what it's for, but pretty sure what the guys who made this video hope it's for. finally, they're needy, they're dirty, and they eat everything in sight. so why not get some use out of your puppy? so i give you the puppy workout. you know, just think about it. if you want to do a light workout with heavy reps, you could use a small toy poodle or something. and if you're looking for a real strength workout, try a great dane. it really is genius. victor? pamela? >> or a st. bernard. you know. >> it seems like that's what you do when you have a puppy anyway. they're always climbing.
6:24 am
they're always on your shoulder jumping. so there's a workout with just holding a puppy anyway. >> my dog would not like it very much. like get off of me. >> which breed? >> lahasa apso poodle mix. i rescued him from a shelter. >> what's the dog's name? >> bear. >> that's cute. that makes it all better. honolulu to hong kong, then moscow to maybe caracas. is edward snowden about to book the last leg of his around-the-world flight from justice, or will u.s. officials catch up with the fugitive first? this is greta. she works in quality control.
